Slimming firming cosmetics drain the skin & reduce cellulite appearance

Cosmetics that aim to act against cellulite and diminish the volume of adipose tissue in the skin claim a slimming firming effect. Related cosmetic claims are:

  • Anti-cellulite
  • Draining

To determine whether your ingredient or product has a slimming or firming effect on human skin, SYNTIVIA offers in vitro tests on 2 different biological models:

  • Primary cell human pre-adipocytes and adipocytes isolated from healthy adipose tissue
  • Murine pre-adipocyte cell lines

 

We always pick the biological model that is most adapted to your research.
